Several newly hired Black, Latino and Female FDNY Firefighters
speak out about the dangers of being a New York City Firefighter
and the lack of disability protections for new hires if they
are hurt. They ask, "Would you risk your life for $27 a day?" UFA
President Steve Cassidy stresses firefighters should not need to
worry about getting hurt in the line of duty and should simply be
focused on protecting the lives of New Yorkers.
